The Alitocrats—all Trump toadies—have already decided. It’s the rest of us who must decide. They say history repeats, but it doesn’t. People repeat. They never change. At this moment, a vast number of Americans ignorant of religious wars that have brutalized human society for thousands of years are pushing for a return to the pseudo-Catholic Spanish Inquisition, and pushing the same agenda as Torquemada: consolidate power to make themselves feel better about their the ED of their tiny dicks. Love your writing Greg. Will write you into my will, if we still have a nation that recognizes such law.

Another unspoken but obvious unintended consequence (everything you cited in your piece is an INTENDED consequence) of red state ideologues writing laws governing reproductive biology - doctors who fail to treat women who are miscarrying or have an ectopic pregnancy knowing that those women will get very much sicker and may die because the well known and proven treatments are withheld can and will be sued for malpractice by injured patients and/or grieving families. And they will lose. All the plaintiff has to do is show that known, proven treatment was withheld and its game over. And how many medical professionals can afford the financial burden of higher malpractice insurance premiums...and the stigma that they let their patients die?
